An oil company tops the list, according to a new study.

The term "sustainable"--like "green" and "all-natural" before it--conveys an abstract sense of do- gooding that many companies have been happy to adopt. Corporate Knights, a Toronto-based media company, applies hard metrics to the otherwise fuzzy term, and Saturday it released its seventh-annual list of the world's most sustainable companies.

"Transparency is a prerequisite," says Toby Heaps, Corporate Knights' editor-in-chief. "Also, how are companies squeezing more wealth from the resources that they use? How are they doing a better job of respecting the social contract, like paying taxes or having diverse leadership?"

Corporate Knights worked with a research firm to winnow down its list of publicly traded companies from 3,000 to 300, based on financial performance and other criteria. Then the Corporate Knights research group worked with two different asset management firms to evaluate those 300 companies based on 10 environmental, social and governance performance metrics, including energy productivity, waste productivity and CEO-to-average-worker pay ratio. An eleventh indicator was added for "transparency."

Corporate Knights includes the top-performing companies in each of several sectors. It relies on the companies to give it accurate data. When a company doesn't provide information for one of the 10 metrics, Corporate Knights assigns it a null score for that category, and penalizes the company with an unfavorable transparency score.

The list's most sustainable company comes from the oil and gas industry--a counterintuitive pick. The Norwegian oil and gas producer Statoil ( STO - news - people ) leads the list, thanks in part to improvements in its water productivity. It's also a healthy contributor to Norway's coffers and has a diverse board, Heaps says
